High: 72
Low: 60

It was another hot, dry week with highs in the 80s, and 90s. It was even over 100 on Monday.

Today, I looked more around my site and attempted to identify some of the trees around it. Most were maple with a few oaks. A few wildflowers are growing in the grasses. They have very small white, almost purple-ish, flowers and seem to be ground cover. (Photo to the right)

The ground is still very dry and the nearby creek is still very low. I saw a bee or a wasp. I didn't feel like getting close enough to figure which it was.
